#2026年比特币行情展望 🔥2008: The Storm That Shook the World Financial System



On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers collapsed suddenly, causing the global financial system to break apart in an instant. This disaster, originating from the US subprime mortgage crisis, did not happen overnight — the Federal Reserve's easing policies inflated a housing bubble, derivatives like CDOs layered risk upon risk, while regulators collectively turned a blind eye. Was the storm truly accidental? Or was this system itself doomed to collapse?

The timeline is clear: in 2007, the new century financial bubble burst; in 2008, the two-party government took over; the crisis approached step by step. By 2009, global GDP plummeted by 2.6%, US unemployment soared to 10%, and household wealth evaporated by $19 trillion. Iceland declared bankruptcy directly, Europe fell one after another, and Japanese exports were halved. The Big Five Wall Street investment banks disappeared, and the entire era was collapsing.

Strangely, what happened after the storm was that China injected 4 trillion yuan to stabilize the market, and the economy actually grew; the G20 replaced the G8, reshuffling global power dynamics. The Federal Reserve launched quantitative easing, turning central banks from "gatekeepers" into "firefighters." Was this crisis the end, or the beginning of a new order? This suspense remains unresolved to this day. Assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $DOGE, to some extent, are responses to this systemic trust crisis.
BTC-1,25%
ETH-2,35%
DOGE-0,15%

The wave of money printing to rescue the market in 2008 directly gave birth to Bitcoin... Now that central banks are again easing monetary policy, will history really repeat itself?

In plain terms, traditional finance got so reckless that it gave birth to the bastard that is Bitcoin.

So basically, Bitcoin is essentially a product of the 2008 financial crisis. I buy that logic.

That wave in 2008, to put it simply, was caused by financial elites collapsing the system, and the lower classes bearing the brunt. They're still repeating the same play now.

To be honest, the 2008 wave is the root of the current ongoing retail investor losses, and the central bank has been printing money nonstop ever since.

$19 trillion evaporated, now it's clear—the central bank's fire-fighting captain model is the source of inflation expectations, and BTC has already reacted. In 2026, what to watch is not the upside potential, but the liquidation risk triggered by this wave of collateralization ratios.

Basically, 2008 was inflation caused by the central banks printing money, and it's still ongoing.

Honestly, the bailout measures in 2008 are still cutting leeks today. Quantitative easing is just legal money printing, no wonder something like BTC emerged to balance things out.
